I found that my XFX 280X DD was running far too slowly in Windows and I was getting stutters and screen flickering. No issues in games when it ramps itself up but just normal browsing and desktop work and it got really annoying. I created a profile that instead of core/mem clocks of 150/300, which i actually laughed out loud at, I set them to something like 450/600 and I have had next to no issues since. A new driver install wipes that away but if the profile is saved, you can easily reapply it should your screen start flickering again after updating drivers.
